Shoppers fuming over major change to Tesco Clubcard – are you affected?

SHOPPERS are fuming after Tesco announced a major change to Clubcard vouchers.

It comes after the supermarket announced that it is reducing the value of Clubcard vouchers spent with reward partners.

In response to the change, one shopper posted on Twitter and said: "Another step closer to ditching Tesco altogether."

Another Tesco shopper said: "Absolutely disgraceful from Tesco at a time when people are struggling enough with high prices and costs.

"More important to think of the profits I guess. Every little helps the shareholders, never worry about the customers."

A third said: "The main reason I hadn't switched to Aldi or Lidl was that we use points for family meals out etc... one step closer to ditching Tesco now!"

"I remember when points were worth four times their amount," said a fourth shopper.

Shoppers can use Clubcard vouchers in-store and online to save money on their Tesco shop. 

Right now, customers can also exchange and triple the value of these vouchers at various reward partners including  and Zizzi.

However, from June 14, Clubcard vouchers will only be worth double their value if exchanged at any of Tesco's 100 reward partners.

The move will mean that their value won't go as far as it used to.

Customers wishing to avoid the points devaluation for as long as possible can do so by ordering partner codes before June 14.

These codes will still be worth the current rate and shoppers will have 12 months from their issue to redeem them.

Tesco has justified the changes to ensure that they can still give Clubcard members great deals.

Clubcard holders can continue to convert 150 points into £1.50 worth of vouchers to spend in Tesco supermarkets.

Customers can also benefit from the supermarket's Clubcard Prices - which gives loyalty card members discounted rates on over 8,000 products.

A Tesco spokesperson said:  "Clubcard unlocks the best value from Tesco - from thousands of exclusive deals through Clubcard Prices, to money off your groceries and fuel, or accessing double the value of your vouchers with more than 100 Clubcard Reward Partners.  

"Millions of people tap their Tesco Clubcard every time they shop, benefiting from access to more than 8,000 weekly deals on Clubcard Prices.
